For over 15 years, The Big Affair has been dedicated to capturing love stories in their most authentic and heartfelt form. As a Los Angeles wedding photographer, I don't simply take photos—I create timeless visual narratives that reflect the deep emotions shared between couples and their loved ones. What sets my work apart is the ability to look beyond the posed moments and focus on the in-between—the stolen glances, joyful laughter, and quiet tears of happiness. At The Big Affair, I am passionate about making couples feel at ease in front of the camera. I guide them through moments of comfort, ensuring they feel natural and connected rather than staged. Through years of experience, I have refined my ability to evoke real emotions, allowing couples to be present on their day while I capture the magic unfolding around them. My approach blends editorial elegance with a documentary style, ensuring that every wedding gallery tells a story through a mix of beautifully composed portraits and candid moments. Whether it's the way a bride’s father holds back tears during the first look or the unfiltered joy of guests on the dance floor, I strive to preserve emotions that can be felt for a lifetime. With over a decade and a half in the industry, The Big Affair has become synonymous with a unique emotional storytelling style that stands out in wedding photography. It's not just about the images; it's about the experience, the connections, and the memories that will last forever.See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost for a photographer for a wedding?

Finding the right wedding photographer can make a big difference for your ceremony. Nationally, the average wedding photographer’s price ranges from $800 to $1,000, but costs can be much higher in areas like Chicago, New York or Los Angeles where some couples spend $2,000 to $5,000 or more for the photographer they want.

Factors that can affect your wedding photographer prices include the photographer’s reputation and experience. Heavy hitters can command top rates, especially during wedding-season weekends. Day of the week also affects your cost. You may get a $200 discount on wedding photographer prices if you get married on a Friday in November rather than a Saturday in June.

Time onsite is also an important cost factor. Hiring a photographer to snap photos from the moment you wake up until after last call at the reception is going to cost more than five hours of pictures during the day. Multiple photographers, special lighting, and videography will also increase your costs. Ultimately you want to find someone who has a style you love and can provide the number of edited shots you want for a price you can handle. Learn more about hiring a wedding photographer.

How many photos should you get from a wedding photographer?

A professional wedding photographer will usually supply their clients with several hundred photos (200, 300, 400 or 800 and more). Some might even provide more than 1,000 photos. It ultimately depends on the photographer.

Wedding photographers will usually take several thousand photos but cut them down to the keepers. They also have to edit these photos. Typically, they will provide them to the clients on a digital hard drive, as an online download or even in a photo album with beautiful decorations.

How long do wedding photographers stay?

A wedding photographer usually expects to work a full day. This gives them time to photograph the venue, cake, rings, shoes, centerpieces, invitations and other aspects of the wedding before the guests arrive. It also allows them time to get photos of the bride and groom alone, as well as the hair and makeup process and fun personality pictures. Then, they will work through all the parts of the wedding.

What pictures should be taken at a wedding?

On your wedding day, your photographer should take pictures of the couple getting ready for the wedding, as well as a fun personality picture before activities begin. They should also photograph showstoppers like the bouquet, invitations, shoes, reception space, cake, centerpieces, rings and the veil. A generational photo with parents or grandparents is also special. There should also be photos of the bride and groom alone, the ceremony, the confetti-filled exit, and hair and makeup.

When should you take wedding photos?

Couples can take wedding photos before their actual ceremony, during cocktail hour (before the reception), during the wedding reception or even after their wedding. The least stressful time to do it is often before the ceremony when hair and makeup generally look their best, temperatures are usually lower because it’s earlier in the day and the couple won’t have to think or worry about it for the rest of the day.
